Hi Thank you for the feed back, I did wonder about it been a fixed razor and take onboard what you have said, I was thinking of getting the first box and seeing how I went as can cancel at anytime, do you still think this is a waste?

You could be lucky and the combination you get is a nice not too aggressive shave. There's nothing better than a single blade shave, closer and with less irritation than your 6 blade monstrosities. I suppose it will inform if you can be bothered with the additional shave prep required...

Yeah I might just risk it and see how I get on (end of the day I'm sure we have all wasted more then £25 on something useless more then once :-) )
just hope I get a good combination, yeah love a close shave been for quite a few cut throat razor shaves and love the whole experience.
Thanks again you have been very helpful.
 
Get a Philips one blade. Electric rechargeable and quite simply brilliant. I could never get a decent enough shave with an electric shaver.

This thing is like a razor only electric and it’s excellent. I don’t even bother with a traditional razor now.

Never liked electric shavers, so at the moment don't think I will go down that road.

I am just looking into starting a shaving subscription, this one looks one of the better ones but wanted to know if anyone uses it and if it is good?
Thanks

They look a rip off to me to be honest
I had looked at them recently, but at the moment I use Gillette Fusion and they last miles longer than the amount I’d get delivered all the time so assuming they lasted as long I’d end up with too many, and if they didn’t last as long they’re ****

I very nearly went and got a decent one to put proper blades in and had narrowed it down to the link below, but got lazy and just got more Gillette blades

If you want razor blades delivering just get them delivered with your shopping

I bought a packet of five triple blade disposable razors for 950 Dinars (about 70p), made in Turkey, but work well. Should last me 6 weeks at least. I use ordinary bath soap.
I could tell you which country I'm in now, but I'd have to shoot you.

Try the Allam Razor. Cuts the name. Cuts the playing staff, cuts the coaches and backroom staff, cuts concessions, etc etc and still available on a monthly membership package (numbers also cut). Basically shaves off everything.

They appear to shave off the vice chairman’s hairline as well, about an inch every 6-8 weeks.

Mach3. Gillette Sensitive Gel. Nivea Sensitive Balm. Paul Smith After Splash.

Leaves you with plenty of extra beer tokens, so you can be far more productIve in wasting you hard earned.

It’s a shave, get a grip.

Apart from my sensitivity being common knowledge it’s also known that I have some ginner traits. It’s a self preservation thing.

I do have a stockpile of both Brut & Old Spice for very special occasions only. Wearing either on a daily basis is just gloating & showing off.

Gillette Blue 2 Slalom.
Eight twin blade razors for £3.99
Lasts me about 3 months.
Nivea atfer shave balm, one large bottle the same about three months.
So I reckon i spend about £3 to £4 a month.
Simples.

I find these better than the Mach 3 which I have not used for years, due to rip off blade prices.

...slight Edit.... - Actually £3.79 for 8
I always forget to pack them when going on holiday so end up buying another eight at Boots when you get airside.....so I probably have more stock of Gillette Blue 2 now than your local pharmacy.
